Manfred127 commented on and linked to this article, and I took the liberty to nab it and put it up here in the hopes it'll get a larger readership. Thanks for the link, manfred! *********************** How China’s Gorbachev Was Flushed in 1989 Matthew Ehret Ago 19 A recent short video  which opened Mike Lindell’s recent Cyber security symposium was brought to my attention recently which encapsulated this belief and has been amplified across nearly all conservative press over the recent year. The trope has taken many forms and has been spread widely among a certain category of conservative-minded citizens of western nations who recognize that a disturbing global behavior-modification program is afoot which threatens to uproot thousands of years of traditional values.To this day, many people are still unclear as to the nefarious role that Hungarian mega speculator-turned philanthropist-turned color revolutionary George Soros has played in international affairs over the

EH here. (Voz here...added the video to see it here!) [The video won't transfer, so watch it on OffGuardian] here . It covers the election of Trump and how the resultant divisiveness and freakout affected the Covid insanity. Also the Jan 6 staged "coup."

Living in the Age of Covid: "The Power of the Powerless" Michael Rectenwald A specter is haunting the world: the increasing prospect of a new totalitarianism under the extended covid response. Unlike the specter of communism, or the specter of “dissent” to communist dictatorship that Václav Havel ironically identified in his groundbreaking essay “The Power of the Powerless,”[1] this specter originates from those in power and not from the revolutionary or the powerless.[2] And rather than haunting only Europe or Eastern Europe, this specter casts its long shadow across the future of all humanity, such that one wonders how one might plan, if at all, for this future. Mixed into this spectral fear are grave doubts promoted by some about the intentions of world leaders and a medical and technocratic elite apparently bent on new lockdowns, masking, and mandatory mass vaccinations. Heterodoxies burgeon in the shadows. The mere mention of these heterodoxies will rank one among the he

Horror as Kabul Falls to a Regime More Liberal Than Australia’s You can attend mass in Kabul but not in Sydney The Taliban are so horrible they aren’t even clamping down on funerals if they exceed 10 people! Horror!

On the other hand, the Taliban do at least ban concerts, cinemas and night clubs so there is still hope they may yet join the civilized world and offer progressive governance, with more clampdowns on anything that makes life worth living, just as the West has done for the past year and a half. Fingers crossed! The dystopian life under the Taliban: The Free West:
